Answer:
15
Explanation:
Let the probability of picking an orange = P(O), and the probability of picking a strawberry = P(S),
Based on the question, he picked an orange first and the probability of picking that is
P(O) = 12/50
Then he picked a strawberry on the second pick, the probability of picking the strawberry is P(S) and we'll find that later.
The probability of picking orange then strawberry with replacement is
P(O) × P(S) = 9/125
Substitute the P(O)=12/50,
12/50 × P(S) = 9/125
P(S) = 3/10
Then by finding the number of strawberry candies, we'll just have to multiply P(S) with the total number of candies, i.e.
Number of strawberry candy
= 3/10 × 50
= 15
